The Nancy Guthrie kidnapping case is taking another twist as a crucial piece of evidence—a glove—found two miles from her home is headed back to Arizona for re-testing. Initially subjected to DNA testing in Florida, authorities must follow federal law, which mandates that any evidence be tested in the state where it was discovered. So, while some corners were cut earlier, this glove is getting another chance to yield answers.
In addition to this glove drama, law enforcement is hot on the trail of roughly 40 individuals linked to a specific gun seen in surveillance footage of the presumed kidnapper. Those names are coming from local gun shops, and let’s hope the detectives feel lucky—a little Sherlock Holmes-style effort might just pay off! Meanwhile, someone has surfaced demanding a hefty reward in bitcoin for information about the kidnapper. Is this a lucrative shortcut to justice, or another twist in a mystery that’s already packed with plot turns? Only time will tell!
